Dartmouth Athletic Sponsor Program

More than 1200 Dartmouth alumni, parents, and other supporters are currently members of the Athletic Sponsor Program, which provides vital recruiting resources for all of the Athletic Department's varsity sports. The Sponsor Program is the sole source of funds for bringing more than 200 top athletic prospects to the campus each year for a first-hand view of the Dartmouth Experience. Additional Sponsor funds are allocated for coaches' recruiting trips, cell phones, and recruiting vehicles. In the event gifts exceed expenses, a portion of the unexpended gifts may also be transferred into a fund for long-term support of our coaches' recruiting efforts. (Click here for a complete description of the fund including provisions for alternate uses.)

All Sponsors receive the Big Green Sports News, are welcome to attend tent receptions prior to home football games, and are recognized in the game programs for home football games. At certain membership levels, you are also informed of the specific athlete whose recruiting trip your donation made possible, so you can follow his or her progress through four years at Dartmouth. Please note the following giving levels and special benefits:

$300-$599:

Assigned a specific recruit every 3-4 years, so you'll always have a current student-athlete

$600-$1199:

Friends Groups for Individual Sports

Every Dartmouth varsity sport and many club sports have Friends Groups consisting of alumni, parents, and other Big Green supporters who provide important resources for that particular sport. Annual Friends' donations often help cover assistant coaches' salaries, video equipment, out-of-region team trips, special equipment purchases, and other vital needs that cannot be covered by the College's budget but are essential to operating a first-class program.

Members of Friends Groups typically receive regular newsletters and are invited to receptions, alumni contests, and other opportunities to meet the coaches and student-athletes. Your contribution is tax deductible. As a restricted gift, it is not part of the Dartmouth College Fund, which is comprised of unrestricted gifts used across the College. For more information about a particular Friends Group, contact the appropriate coaching staff or email Athletics@Dartmouth.edu. To make a donation online, click the desired sport:
